See,
You will have to agree:
It’s been a month
Of mediocrity.

We
Only want to foresee
Them play it close
Or rise to marquee.

Bring the lineup, start the game:
They play against a National.
Though the year’s been often lame
And seemingly irrational,

Come,
‘Cause today’s a different day,
It could be just a mite okay,
So cheer high and cheer tall
When they cry to play ball.

Come
To the park in the Navy Yard,
Bring your book or scoring card,
Catch a fly in the stall:
Hear them cry to play ball.

Now the bulbs light up the field
Today against a National.
Bat as sword and glove as shield!
(A simile irrational.)

Take the Green Line, crowd the train
To reach the Park of National.
Might be squished and feeling pain;
WMATA is irrational.

Tonight they face a National;
This team that’s full of passion’ll
Heat up against a National!
These lyrics get irrational,
So play!
So play!
So play!
So play!

(So play!)
My club of misery, (so play!)
Cooked like rotisserie: (so play!)
Go freely swing, (so play!)
And we will sing,

So play!
So play!
So play!
So play!
Go play!

And a bonus piece of roster news! Surely this latest move will repair the Twins bullpen:

Yep, a move sure to repair the relief pitching corps completely, entirely, whatsoever. Yessirree.
